the game

i use them like tissue paper. the same two. they lie crumpled on the floor where i've thrown them at the wastebasket, but missed.

the two are interchangeable. when one comes too close i push them away and reach for the other. then it repeats.

it's a game they don't get tired of. i don't either. not yet anyway.

i feel remotely sorry that this is what it is has come down to.

i was made for more.

so were you.
